F1 2001 Controller Question

Sorry for all these posts, but I'm trying to get my sim installations back "up to speed" after having to re-install them all. I've installed F1 2001, the FF patch and the No-CD patch. The sim starts up with no problem, and configures my controllers properly (an LWFF on ID #1 and a TSW pedals on ID #3). However, when I hit the track, my accelerator does not work properly. It works enough to leave the pit, and the car continues down pit road, but when I reach the actual track, the throttle doesn't work. In neutral, the car revs properly, but as soon as I put it in gear, the car only moves about 20mph. Is there somewhere in the sim where I have to calibrate the controller? (I don't remember doing that before....) The controllers are properly calibrated in Windows. Any help would be appreciated. Bert

Ummmm....I sure hope you aren't forgetting to release the pit lane speed limiter. Marc "BRH @attbroadband.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I think that the rev limiter was on by default, since I still had "Pit Lane Assistance" set to on (or was it off? I can't remember....) Bert. EldredP wrote:

I DID have the problem on the track, but turning the pitlane limiter off solved it. (Hitting 'L' on the keyboard). I still have Pit Lane Assistance on now, so it's limited in the pits, but there's no longer any problem on the track. EldredP wrote:
